The bridge of thighs

It's a bit like a seance. Now Will doesn't have a blog he is channelling from the other world through those of us still blogging. Paulie picked up these defences of the BBC from him, a consistent theme of his blog.

My tip of the week was certainly dear to my heart:

Could big thighs protect against heart disease?

Stop trying to slim down those thunder thighs – they may be protecting you from major health problems, according to new research. Surprisingly, it found that people with thinner-than-average thighs may have a higher risk of heart problems or an earlier death.

Hmm... this item might be a case for Ben Goldacre.
